Access Information
Employees and guests of the Max Planck Society may access the Ovid Online Database
Server (MPS-specific entry page at: http://ovid.gwdg.de/) by using either a personal
login or an institutional login:
- Personal Login: For full functionality and access from any location
worldwide, a valid user ID and password is required. Please use the
online application form.
To change your password, see
Ovid Online FAQ.
Please note: By using the personal login you will be able to save your search
strategies or set up customized "AutoAlerts". For your own benefit
and to protect against unauthorized usage, we strongly recommend not to share
your user ID and password with others.
- Institutional Login: This mode of access allows you to enter
without a user ID or password, but only if you are currently at an authorized site
of the Max Planck Society (IP protection).
Please note: The institutional login will not allow certain user-specific functions
such as saving searches over longer periods or setting up "AutoAlerts".
